I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

John, ,thought you might find it funny but the only bit I got stuck on was removing the disk on the fan end of the shaft. I was not sure if it was threaded or just seized. Spent a few minutes trying to remove it and then thought I know check the video. Of course you start the whole process at the point where you had already removed it. :-)

Oh sorry about that. Yeah, that disc is just sitting there with a film of oil under it. I'm sure you already figured that out though. I gotta remember to turn the camera on when I start my projects.

Do you have any hydro rebuild videos?

@@bradmcoy8706 sorry, I dont have any videos

When you pull the pump, take a look at the numbers on it. A quick google search and you might get lucky. A lot of other mowers use the same parts. You might find a place that has everything you need. Good luck

Did u try MTD site?

Yeah I like to know also mine is leaking right there

Same question here, I installed them both lower to the left fitting as your standing at the rear of the mower and the left wheel spun in reverse so I switched them and the left now the machine works as it should. Standing behind the mower the right side hoses are lower hose to the left port at the head and the upper hose to the right side port. I have a Simplicity and their diagram shows the opposite. So the way they have it is lower left on each side which didn’t work in my case.

Yes. Exactly the same. Some have the plate like this video and some don't. If not you have to buy a new end cap

If they use what everyone else is using, get Mobil 1 15w50. But if they use something else, you're on your own.

Alright Fitz. Thanx. I'll do a little more research.

You check the belt? If its loose or worn out, it'll do that

Sorry. This video is from 2013. The place I got the parts from has been out of business for a few years now. I dont remember any of the part numbers. Try Googling the parts you need. I'm sure some place has what you need

good job

Take 1 of the lines off the wheel motor and put it in a tub of oil. Turn the hub by hand. Itll suck oil from the tub and circulate it through the pump. You'll know you're turning the hub the right way when you see the oil level start dropping in the tub

The store I got the parts from is out of business. The berings I got locally at "Buffalo Bearings Inc" Kenmore, NY

It will rotate only 180* but yes. Otherwise your forward and reverse will be backwards.

Extreme heat and hot weather can do harm to any equipment no matter how much u baby it. Extreme heat breaks down the viscosity in oil. Grew up on farm and around heavy equipment.

@@andyyeager3381 Completely agree. What I'm saying is those that let grass and grease build up on their pumps will need to replace them sooner

Abuse and neglect can do a lot of damage so your correct on that. I watch these videos of these young kids working for excavation companies that will dance these skid steers on 2 wheels and twirl around to show off but I never see the boss or owner make the little punks pay for the expensive repairs it creates and im sure u know what I'm talking about.

I found a kit for 160 so I'll rebuild it myself. I've been a backyard so called mechanic all my life rebuilt Holley 750 and a couple quadrojets back in my teens I'm close to 60 now. Did HVAC for 25 years u learn a lot in that time and still learning like now.

Sounds like the drive belt again. I don't know why you would be going through them so fast. But that's what it sounds like to me.

it's probably the lumps. but for both of them to fail at exactly the same time is suspect. are you sure you are full of fluid? if it's low, the pumps will whine and not move.

Michael Dumenko Jr. I got everything from outdoor dist. So I don't know where else to look. Try Google searching the numbers mnaybe?

What numbers? Can you give me the part numbers....I would appreciate it.

Michael Dumenko Jr. Are you sure you have the same identical pump as mine? Take a look at your pump. The numbers are on the side. Google search those numbers and see what comes up. As far as my pump, this was filmed many years ago, and I have no idea whgat the numbers were.

Jacks small engine website - look up ( PG-1GAB-DY1X-XXXX ) Parts Diagram

Absolutely

outdoordistributors.com

Fitz's I called the outdoordistributors.com and they said they only sale the complete pump, but not the bearing by itself. Any other suggestion? Pump models. HYDRO GEAR PG-3KCC-NV1B-XXXX HYDRO GEAR PG-3HCC-NV1B-XXXX

+Ben Owens don't call them. Go to their website outdoordistributors.com and click on "lawnmower parts". Then click where it says "I don't my part number" then click on "pg sires pumps". A diagram of your pump will come up. Scroll down to the part number of the bearing you need. Then copy/paste or write down the number. Enter it into their search menu, and it'll show up. Or google that part number. And there'll be other places that sell it.

Thx Fit'z was able to get the parts. A little clicking but all came out well. I just rebuilt one of the pumps and will go ahead and do the other one because of the lawn of one goes out the other one will. I have another question? I have the same pump in your video and ferris 1500Z. What type oil do you use in the system. You say in the video 15W/50. I am trying not to go the local dealer because they want to sell their oil. Looking to get it at the local parts store to save money. Do you use 15W/50 Synthetic? I am able to get the 15W50 and 20W50 systhetic at local parts store.

Great! I'm glad you were able to find the parts...Yes, I use Mobil 1 Synthetic 15W50. I use it in all mowers. new and old. Hope this helps

Mobil 1 15/50. I think they all use that now

Thanks I appreciate your quick response. great video!!

It's probably aerated. Do a fluid change and see if it fixes it

123guinness thanks! I did a full fluid change and cycled it several times. I guess could be the pump.

Oil weight maybe

Mobile 1 15 50 is the hydraulic oil used in the machine. That's what the owner's manual tells you to use

on the bottom of the pulley, there are 2 screws 10mm if I recall. pull them both out, and screw them into the other 2 holes next to where they came from. as you tighten them, it pushes the pulley off the pump. very easy

Thank you. I broke off the bolts since the hub wouldn't move. I will have to drill them out and try again.

+Jason Collier if they broke, you're fine. just grab 2 more and screw them in to the other holes. when the pulley comes off, your broken ones will be exposed, and you can grab them with vice grips once the pump is on the bench

+Fitz's Fixes the gasket in the kit I was sent from hydro for the top cover(4 10mm bolt cover) is round. The one I took off is a flat gasket. Does that matter or should I put the flat one back on? I appreciate your help.

+Jason Collier I re used the original gasket. No leaks at all

That was 11 years ago. The website I got them from has been shut down for years. Sorry

@@fitzsfixes thanks anyways.

It's a Hydro Gear pump. Not sure on the numbers though. I've since scrapped that mower. Old and worn out. Horrible cut.

The pump only goes 1 direction. So it'll be your wheel motor that went bad.

@@fitzsfixes - makes sense! Sometimes it just helps to bounce it off someone.

Hey man, sorry to bother you. I just discovered my boy added straight hydrologic fluid to the reservoir not knowing the difference (frankly I don’t either). Shortly after that is when I lost power. Before I start throwing $2000 in parts on this thing. Is there a way to test either the pump or the motor to isolate the problem?

By the way, when I put it on jack stands, the wheel moves both forward and backward. The pump sounds like it’s “straining” on the side in question. Thanks

Welp, replaced the wheel motor. I think I bought the last one in the United States and same thing. Now at least I know it’s the hydro pump. May I ask where you bought your parts? I didn’t see anything in the description (mobile device)z. Thanks!

To do it properly, you should really pull them apart and clean the internals. If you want to do it quickly, take 1 of the 2 large hoses off the wheel motor. Take the end of that hose and put it in a bucket of clean oil. With you hands, spin the tire slowly in the direction that cases the hose to suck oil from the bucket. As you spin, the clean oil will cycle through both the wheel motor and hydro pump. The dirty oil will exet through the hole on the motor you pulled the hose from. After cycling a few quarts though, I would hook the hose back up and take the other one off and repeat the process, spinning the tire in the other direction. This will insure you have fresh clean oil throughout the entire system. Good luck

The pump is. Once you enter that, all the parts will be listed. I just entered the numbers in Google, and there were a bunch of places that sold parts.

Nope. Just fill the pump before installing. I filled it as I put it together

Dadgum it ! It was in the cover! Good job pointing that out to people

No longer in business.

@@fitzsfixes Sorry to hear that...just busted open pump that destroyed thrust bearing and wash plate...went through both sides of case...can ya give me a point in a direction for spare parts?

@@Dusty3900 best bet is to Google the parts and see what comes up. I wish I could be more help.

@@fitzsfixes Thanks cuz ...ya still taught me sumthin...!
